SUMMARY:The Lonely Battle of Thomas Reid
DESCRIPTION:76 minutes\, Ireland 2018 \, Club Cert. Directed by Feargal Ward \nThomas is a 55 year old Irish farmer who lives and works the farm of his ancestors. Threadbare clothes\, self-cut hair and tough\, weathered hands reveal a life of land and toil. \nHis next door neighbour is the the world’s largest manufacturer of computer microchips; their site is almost fully developed and rumours abound that more land is required for expansion. \nThomas refuses all approaches to sell his farm but finds his world in turmoil as forces conspire to remove him. After he fails in a court action to overturn the compulsory purchase of his house and lands\, we follow him to the final court of appeal where he stands on the brink of losing everything. \nWhat begins as a story of one man’s struggle to hold on to his way of life and land\, transforms into a universal exploration of a battle between principle and power. \nSeniors can attend for the price of €4. \n \n

SUMMARY:On The Trail of the Whale
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear our stories of an expedition from Ireland to Iceland on the research vessel\, Celtic Mist in search of Humpback Whales presented by The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group. \nIn May 2018\, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group left Dublin embarking on an expedition to Iceland on its research vessel Celtic Mist. A retired school teacher\, a doctor\, a parks ranger along with a farmer from Kildare were onboard and skippered by a project manager from Arklow. During the next six weeks\, 28 members from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group\, of all ages and all walks of life sailed Celtic Mist 4\,500 km around the Icelandic coast and even into the Arctic Circle before returning her back to Dublin via the Faroe Islands and Scotland. They went in search of humpback whales\, one of the most enigmatic species in the world’s oceans. Humpback whales are increasing in Irish waters and Irish Whale and Dolphin Group wanted to know where are they coming from or going to ! Ireland and Iceland share this whale population and we wanted to improve knowledge and build relationships between our two island nations. But they came back with more than they bargained for! Many experiences were shared by those who sailed Celtic Mist on this ambitious expedition. Many special moments were had with people and wildlife that will stay with these everyday mariners for the rest of their days. A collection of images and videos will be presented\, by the skippers\, scientists and crew who ventured on the “trail of the whale”. IWDG will visit 20 venues throughout the island of Ireland including our offshore islands. Event suitable for all ages and free to everybody. \n

SUMMARY:Rider
DESCRIPTION:104 minutes\, 2017 USA film\, Club. Not subtitled. \nBrady is a talented South Dakota bronco rider and horse trainer –\ncowboys and rodeos are the centre of his world. So when he suffers a near-fatal accident that halts his career\, Brady struggles to recover from a serious head-injury that forces him to reevaluate his future. \nChinese-born director Chloé Zhao proves that her acclaimed debut feature Songs My Brothers Taught Me was no flash-in-the-pan\, as she returns with another beautifully crafted and absorbing glimpse of “real-life” America in this second feature. Casting non-professional actors as versions of themselves allows her to bring a unique authenticity and intimacy to the story – the result is a powerfully emotional and touching exploration of humanity. Based on a true story. Seniors can attend for €4. \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Lucky
DESCRIPTION:88 minutes\, USA 2017\, Club\, Not Subtitled. \nLucky (Stanton) is a 90-year-old wartime veteran living in a small remote desert town. This fiercely independent aethist’s life has happily revolved around a daily routine involving yoga\,diner visits\, crossword puzzles\, TV game shows\, cigarettes and meeting up with his long-time friends at his local. But now as he contemplates the end of life\, he finds himself on a late journey of self-exploration.. \nThis award-winning first feature from actor-turned-director John Carroll Lynch (Fargo\,Zodiac)allows Harry Dean Stanton to shine as the elderly atheist seeking the meaning of his life. Stanton’s final on-screen performance is funny\, touching and beguiling\, and all the more poignant in the knowledge that he passed away just days before the film’s US cinema release. Seniors can see this film for the price of €4. \n \n
